BURBANK, Calif. — A commission has voted to cut future salaries of California lawmakers and other state elected officials by 18 percent, a day after voters offered their own rebuke.
The action by the California Citizens Compensation Commission will have no immediate effect.
It comes three weeks after the panel deadlocked over whether to cut salaries by 10 percent, in part because several positions were unfilled. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger filled those vacancies immediately afterward, setting the stage for Wednesday's 5-1 vote.
The commission is prohibited from cutting officials' pay in midterm, meaning current lawmakers and elected officials will maintain their salaries through at least December 2010.
Salaries currently range from $116,028 a year for rank-and-file state legislators to $212,178 for the governor.
The commission said it was influenced by California's $21 billion budget deficit and the promise of layoffs and deep spending cuts.
The stuff in bold pi$$es me off!!! Cut their f'n pay NOW!!
